Very well spoken. I took some classes in college a few years ago, and I enjoyed them. It’s interesting how I learned more about the processes in business, than from the business school. I don’t know if it’s because of a more “specific” major or what. Either way I think it’s important to state that it is very similar to a business degree, and way of thinking.

I'm Marliee turned 39 years young from Miami Florida .😅 and I'm currently an esthetician and managing an independent medspa. However, i dont know if i want further my career in skincare. Im looking towards more of an independent, fun, enjoyable, flexible schedule and not be in a very saturated field. My mind is creative, and I always aim on doing hands on creativity and visuals, but I can't pinpoint what I would like to do as for a career. As I was going through my research, I found another job in the retail/ visual merchandiser position and caught my attention. I didn't know there were such things as a position in visual merchandising. Anyways I'm here to look for more in-depth experiences and knowledge to see if this is something I should put my time in researching and investment in a degree. Wish me luck!

I'd like to know the scope of Fashion Merchandiser and trend forecasting jobs in New York City before I pursue an associate degree program in fashion buying and Merchandising this Fall 2021. Could you guide me to better understand the qualifications and skill set required to break into the fashion industry as I’ve recently moved to New York City - Manhattan . To give you a brief background about myself I hold a bachelor's and Master's degree in Finance and have a dynamic experience of more than six and half years in Regulatory compliance laws with multinational banks in India. Alongside I’ve closely worked with my family- owned fashion boutique for several years and that’s how I developed an interest in business side of fashion instead of design. Please tell me how can I get in contact with u? Thank you for such an informative video😀

@JaciAlison 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, Pauline! I say that because it is by far the most competitive career path within the industry. Many individuals want to become buyers, and oftentimes if the buyer is not meeting an organizations expectations, they will be let go. For many organizations the turnover is quite high, however, it really depends on the company/ buying department, etc. Don't let this discourage you, sending you all the good vibes, you've got this girl!

@CrashCarson14 2 жыл бұрын

I’m more of a supply chain person. If you can get into Planning to start that can help. Also if you start maybe outside of Fashion companies, but get into buying for just a year or so, you can have a better chance of the transition as you would have experience.
